It's a beast but I don't think it would fare very well on a road course

Guess so? 1/8 mile isn't racing, it is a waste of time.

Tim Lynch is an 10.5 legend in Mustangs. He's doing pretty well with the new rig too.

Here's a full 1/4 mile shakedown run from last year:

Just thought I'd bump this up to report that Tim Lynch's car burned up on a run at MIR last night. Tim is okay, but the car is done. Turbo let go on the big end and somehow tore through the fuel cell. I guess the 10.5 class doesn't require blankets.

1/8 mile isn't racing??? Total BS. real racing started light to light and 1/8 mile is light to light racing. How many races on the street have you seen go 1/4 mile? I love 1/8 mile because power cant always save you if you cut a bad light.
